Show SAYS TABLE SALT PREVENTS DISEASE Use With Warm Water Helps Stop Spread of Infantile Paralysis, Vermont Ver-mont Medico Says. EDTLAND, Vt., March 22. Announcement An-nouncement that Dr. Edward Taylor, professor of tropical medicine at the University of Vermont, had made an important im-portant discovery as to the manner in. which infantile paralysis is spread, was made today by Dr. Charles S. Caverly, president of the state board of health. "Dr. Taylor has apparently shown," Dr. Caverly said, "that diseased noses and throats allow the passage of the virus into the central nervous system, while normal noses and throats seem to neutralize this poison. The simple process proc-ess of cleansing the nose and throat with warm water in which table salt has been dissolved is perhaps as good a preventive pre-ventive as we have." |
